This is almost unbelievable.

It is unbelievable.

But it still might be true.

Buy it, show up, have Pinch’s clothes torn from his body, drag him down the stairs, across the lobby, and throw him out the front door. Then call Police and tell them there’s a half-naked man sitting outside the building.

He lost his mind a long time ago, when he censored Fox News and supported Hitlary.

Maureen Dowd will be assigned to cover celebrity gossip only.

David Brooks will be given a “grouchy guy” column in the Home section.

Headline writers will be instructed to come up with snappier puns.

Page two will be all cheesecake pix.

Etc.

Would he have to divest himself of the New York Post so that he wouldn’t hold a monopoly in New York?

The Times would merge with the National Enquirer, but the Enquirer is reluctant to lower their journalistic standards.

If Murdock has the funds for that, he should use them to buy out the Saudi Prince who owns a big stake in News Corp, and who gets to call the shots on how Arabs are covered

The Fox article cites Vanity Fair

And here http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/05/wolff200805

Vanity Fair was speculating about Murdoch and the NY Times as early as May of this year.

>>Coming so shortly after Rupert Murdoch’s successful challenge, last summer, to the theoretically impregnable control of the Bancroft family at The Wall Street Journal (about which I am writing a book), Morgan Stanley’s retreat seemed to reaffirm the Sulzbergers’ hold. Quite specifically, the Bancrofts didn’t have what the more than 50 living members of the Sulzberger family have: a voting-trust agreement. None of the Sulzbergers could act alone; an outside investor could not divide the family, as Murdoch had done with the Bancrofts.<<

Oh please do it! Murdoch can then sell off the New York Post with its somewhat tawdry reputation and give the New York Times the same high reputation as the Times of London.
